The Untold Truth

Chapter 11- Demonstration and the Perfect Weapon

Harry's POV-
These people were so strange. They were always moving, they couldn't sit still. It makes it worse that one of them apparently is besties with the Headmistress and the other is the long lost brother of Draco Malfoy. They both act so important. They were telling all about their adventures and all that crap. Anyone related to Draco can't possibly be any form of good. They also look kind of dangerous, only slightly, I mean no one will ever beat Voldemort, but seeing them mess around with those swords was crazy. I didn't think Draco could do anything other than be a twat.
"Who's a twat?" someone asked from behind me.
I turned around. It was the new DADA teacher. "Nobody," I muttered quickly.
She smiled kindly and said, "Okay, see you in class tomorrow."

~The next day~

*Percy's POV

As we sat down in DADA I turned to Draco, "Did you notice all the weird looks Harry has been sending our way? Think he has a crush on one of us?" I joked.
He looked over at Harry, who glared, "No, not really. That's how he's always looked at me."
Just then Sally walked in, "Okay, for our first lesson we are going to find everyone a weapon so that if it ever happens that you lose your wand you have a backup plan. Now there are many choices of different kind of weapons. We have multiple size swords. We have different bows and arrows. We have daggers and spears and hammers and knifes. You will all get a chance to pick out a weapon based on your fighting style. Now before you all get your weapons would you like to see an example of a few different fighting styles?" Everyone in the room nodded. "Percy, Draco, Nico! Get up here." We scrambled out of our seats.
I faintly heard Hermione say, "I saw them play fighting last night, it was amazing."
"How would you like to do this?" Draco asked.
"Could we go outside?" Nico questioned.
"That's actually a good idea Nico," she said, then louder she said to the class, "Okay class grab your stuff we are going outside." Everyone grabbed their stuff and we all went outside. We were right by the lake in front of the school. "Okay rules! No permanent maiming. No powers. It'll be Percy against Nico and Draco. Go!" she yelled backing away. The students followed her and took a few steps back. We all had our weapons ready to appear. I held the pen in my hand twirling it in my fingers. Suddenly Draco twisted his ring and jumped towards me. He aimed for a blow to my neck and I bent into a back bend to avoid it. I sent a punch at his face and as he was blocking that I jabbed at his side. I rolled to the side as Nico appeared slashing at my leg. We were in a triangle now. Nico and Draco shared a look before lunging in perfect harmony and tackling me to the ground. I pushed them off and rolled onto my feet. I snatched both their swords out of their hands and tossed mine to the side. I pointed their own weapons at each of their necks. They both raised their arms in the universal sign of surrender. We all turned to the rest of the class and nodded towards the door.
"Let's go get you all set up," Nico said.
"Yes let's," I said smiling happily at everyone.

Harry's POV-
After they finished showing off we went back inside and Professor Blowfish told us to line up. She stood in front of the class and said that we would each take a turn with picking out a weapon. The person who's turn it was would walk to one of the stations and try that weapon. When they found the weapon that worked the best for them, then stood in a group with other people with that weapon. When it was my turn, I went straight for a sword. When I tried to pick it up, the tip touched the ground. Nico inspected my grip, "You would probably be better with a dagger," he said. I grudgingly put the sword down and walked to the daggers. I picked up a random one and it fit perfectly in my hand.
Percy was at this station and he inspected my grip. "I think this ones perfect for you, go stand with the rest of the people with daggers." I gritted my teeth and stood next to the group with daggers. Every single one of them was a girl. By the end of class Ron had a bow and arrow, Hermione had a short blade (a shorter sword), and Neville had the sword that I had picked up.
Professor Blowfish stood in front of us, "Okay, so... Each of you will be trained with the other people with the same kind of weapon. Percy will teach daggers. Nico will teach spears. Draco with the swords. And I will teach bows and arrows. Now go put your weapon on the wall with next to your name. I have made it to where only you can take it off unless you tell someone with words to take it off.
